Protection from mould and heat loss<\/strong><\/p>\n

The air\u00adproof\u00ading lay\u00ader pro\u00adtects the in\u00adsu\u00adla\u00adtion from mois\u00adture and con\u00addens\u00ada\u00adtion from the in\u00adside, en\u00adsures that the in\u00adsu\u00adla\u00adtion works ef\u00adfect\u00adively and provides a healthy in\u00addoor liv\u00ading en\u00advir\u00adon\u00adment.<\/p>\n

The thermal in\u00adsu\u00adla\u00adtion sep\u00adar\u00adates the in\u00addoor from the out\u00addoor cli\u00admate. The tem\u00adper\u00adat\u00adure dif\u00adfer\u00adence between the two cli\u00admates at\u00adtempts to be\u00adcome equal\u00adised through the flow of air. This means in winter the warm air from the build\u00ading trans\u00adfers through the struc\u00adtur\u00adal ele\u00adments to the out\u00adside. The air\u00adproof\u00ading lay\u00ader pre\u00advents this air flow, the so-called con\u00advec\u00adtion, and there\u00adfore the loss of hot air to the out\u00adside. The in\u00adteri\u00ador space is here not her\u00admet\u00adic\u00adally sealed off – like us\u00ading a plastic bag – from the out\u00adside air. In\u00adstead, the ex\u00adchange of air from the in\u00adside to the out\u00adside con\u00adtin\u00adues via dif\u00adfu\u00adsion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If in\u00addoor air were to flow un\u00adres\u00adtric\u00adted through the thermal in\u00adsu\u00adla\u00adtion, it would increasingly be\u00adcome cool\u00ader the farther it pen\u00adet\u00adrates to\u00adwards the out\u00adside un\u00adtil it fi\u00adnally emerges as con\u00addens\u00ada\u00adtion. Con\u00addens\u00ada\u00adtion may cause con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00adable dam\u00adage to the build\u00ading and its com\u00adpon\u00adents. Load-bear\u00ading struc\u00adtur\u00adal ele\u00adments may rot and lose their strength.<\/p>\n

Sim\u00adil\u00adarly, mois\u00adture also pro\u00admotes the de\u00advel\u00adop\u00adment of harm\u00adful mil\u00addew and mould. A va\u00adpour re\u00adtard\u00ading and and air\u00adproof\u00ading lay\u00ader on the in\u00adside of the thermal in\u00adsu\u00adla\u00adtion helps to avoid such struc\u00adtur\u00adal dam\u00adage.<\/p>\n
